Blum, TX Real Estate: Small-Town Charm Near Lake Whitney
Looking for a small Texas town with real character and lake life nearby? Blum, Texas fits the bill nicely. This charming little town sits at the junction of Farm-to-Market Highways 67 and 933 in northwestern Hill County, about 22 miles northwest of Hillsboro and 15 miles south of Cleburne. The Nolan River winds right through town, eventually flowing into beautiful Lake Whitney nearby.
Blum has a history that goes back further than most Texas towns. Explorer Philip Nolan set up camp northeast of Blum back in 1801 to capture wild mustangs, making it one of the earliest documented Anglo settlements in the region. The town itself was officially established in 1881, when the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway built through the area, and the community was named for Leon Blum, a Galveston businessman and railroad stockholder. Blum grew quickly in its early years, reaching 1,000 residents by 1908, with dry-goods stores, grocery stores, two banks, and two hotels.
Today, Blum keeps its small, peaceful charm, the kind of place where neighbors know each other and life moves at an easy pace. With Lake Whitney close by for boating and fishing, and Nolan River running right through town, outdoor lovers will feel right at home.
For buyers who want a true small-town setting with deep Texas roots and easy access to Lake Whitney, Blum is a delightful, low-key place to call home.
